Just make sure you sell before the US opens its TSMC plant and drops Taiwan like a hot rock.
I still say that Taiwan has two uses that struggle to coexist, manufacturing and military. Once the manufacturing one becomes defunct, what is left is its military use.
Wasnt there a us senator that tried to start a war in china presicley because she had a lot of intel stock?
US also nearly started a war with Iran over a fucking pistachios (not solely, but it was a factor)
United Fruit Company has entered the chat.
That TSMC plant is running into trouble on every front, including the inability to find local workers qualified and willing to work there.
Also the expat Taiwanese engineers are being subjected go racist harassment because of course they are lmao.
